Bill > SR43

This resolution requests the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to partner with the Kahoolawe Island Reserve Commission (KIRC) to improve and support the ongoing repair and redevelopment of the Kihei ramp, a boat launching facility located in South Kihei on Maui. The resolution highlights that the ramp is an important community resource used for recreational activities like fishing and diving, and notes that KIRC regularly uses the ramp to access Kahoolawe Island and plans to develop a visitor center nearby. The DLNR has previously established collaborative programs with community nonprofits to manage state facilities, and this resolution suggests that partnering with KIRC could help leverage private investment and support for the ramp's maintenance and improvement. The resolution formally requests this partnership and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to various state and county officials, including the Governor, DLNR Chairperson, and Maui County Mayor, to facilitate communication and action.
